METHODIST CHURCH Our Step Alma Meters M K HEN on that fatal day, September 21, of 1918, we saw our beloved is ? 3 High School consumed by fire, and turned away feeling homeless S., and forelorn, only to be taken under the protecting wing of the ,fx 27 52 Methodist Church, we felt like wandering orphans who had at f last found a haven of rest. .lt, together with the Parish House and Christian Science Church, were rapidly fitted out with school parapher- nalia and soon we were back in the harness, trying to forget our sorrow and to enjoy the pleasures of the remainder -of the term of '19, Back we came to these friends in the September of '19, feeling secure and happy, only to be ousted from our main home, the Methodist. Church, on J'a,nua.ry 27, 1920, by the same formidable and familiar enemy, another fire. Again we were shelterless and forced t-0 seek new friends, which We soon found in the United Brethren, Christian and Presbyterian churches. The unhealthy condition of the Christian Church basement required another change and proved to us that there was still another waiting t.he opportunity to befriend us, in the form of the Baptist Church. We -only stayed a short time in the Presbyterian church because the distance was too far to go. NVhile these changes caused us some inconvenience, nevertheless, we profited by them for they gave us more recreation and out-door fun. lt also showed that We could overcome the work of the Fates and, too, we realized and appreciated more fully what we had lost. Thinking of- the misfortunes we have encountered and the obstacles we have overcome, aided by others, we realized how kind and generous are the friends who gave us the use of thir churches, without a moment's hesitation. And we trust that our action and our ca1'e of these buildings that we have occupied will, in a measure, show our benefactors our deep gratitude and appreciation -of what they have so readily given us. These buildings rank next to B. H. S. in our hearts, and will be classed by us as our Step Alma-Ma.ters fo1'ever. 3523752352 .HX 1
